Re: Engine dies out
I have been advised to solder the wires together, in case it was bad
connection.
I can't understand why this should happened only when the car is hot, and
why it will start after 30 minutes even if I haven't touched the connector.
Also, when I did follow the advice and disconnected the CPS the last time it
happened, and connected again, and it worked, I decided to solder the wires
together, but trough a switch.
This way, I will be able to reset the CPS again just by pressing the switch
if it happens again.
I will continue to give update on this.

Re: Engine dies out
Not a bad idea, just in case the 'reset' does something. If the reset
does indeed have an effect, then it is time to change the part likely,
good readings or not.

Re: Engine dies out
Not a bad idea, just in case the 'reset' does something. If the reset
does indeed have an effect, then it is time to change the part likely,
good readings or not.

Re: Engine dies out
Back from my second fishing trip up in the mountain.
After I soldered the wires together trough a switch, the engine has not
stopped.
So I guess it was the bad connection after all.
Now the only thing that remains is the high idle at start up sometimes, I
have cleaned the throttle body, but I did not take the sensor out for
cleaning, I do that soon.
Take care all of you out there who help me.

Re: Engine dies out
Back from my second fishing trip up in the mountain.
After I soldered the wires together trough a switch, the engine has not
stopped.
So I guess it was the bad connection after all.
Now the only thing that remains is the high idle at start up sometimes, I
have cleaned the throttle body, but I did not take the sensor out for
cleaning, I do that soon.
Take care all of you out there who help me.

Re: Engine dies out
Excellent! Thanks for the feed back.
Those plugs and sockets just aren't made to handle long term small power
signals. Corrosion gets them and the corrosion level is so small they
don't look dirty.
